Reaction Steps

2,4-Dibenzyloxy-5-isopropylbenzoic acid (5.64 g, 15.0 mmol, 1.00 equiv.) in 80 mL dichloromethane at room temperature was treated with oxalyl chloride (2.00 g, 15.75 mmol, 1.05 equiv.) and catalytic amount of DMF (0.1 mL) for 1 hour. Solvent and excess (COCl)2 were removed on rotary evaporator. The residue was dissolved in 100 mL dichloromethane, and treated with 1,3-dimethyl-5-aminoindole (2.40 g, 15.0 mmol, 1.00 equiv.) and triethylamine (2.28 g, 22.5 mmol, 1.50 equiv.) at 0° C. for one hour. Normal aqueous workup and removal of solvent gave a light brown solid that was washed with ether to yield 2,4-dibenzyloxy-5-isopropyl-N-(1-methyl-1H-indol-5-yl)-benzamide (A) as off-white solid (7.20 g, 14.3 mmol, 95%)
